‘Rappin’ for Jesus’ Blends New Testament with Racial Slur (VIDEO)

Rappin' for Jesus
YouTube member Brian Spinny uploaded this awesome video earlier this year featuring Pastor Jim Colerick and his wife, Mary Sue dropping rap beats.

It is noteworthy that many media outlets are reporting this as being serious, but we believe it to be a spoof.

In looking around Google, on might note that the website for the West Dubuque 2nd Church of Christ wasn’t created until this January, even though the church “closed” in 2004, contradicting Spinny’s claim that:

“I helped my pastor make this music video when I was in high school. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it! May the Lord bless and keep you. : )”

Watch for yourself below, and be prepared to laugh.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1: Jim Colerick]
Well I wrote this song for the Christian youth
I wanna teach kids the Christian truth
If you wanna reach those kids on the street
Then you gotta do a rap to a hip-hop beat.

I gave my sermon an urban kick
My rhymes are fly, my beats are sick
My crew is big and it keeps getting bigger
That’s cause Jesus Christ is my n*gga

Oooooooo

[Verse 2]
He’s a life-changer, miracle-arranger
Born to the virgin mom in a manger
Water to wine, he’s a drink exchanger
And he died for your sins.

I preach the word, that’s my gig
And I rhyme better than Notorious BIG
Other MCs, I wish them well
But if you live in sin, you burn in hell.

Now I’mma pass the mic to my lovely wife
She’s a fly MC and the light of my life
So to bust a rhyme without further ado
Take it away, Mary Sue!

[Verse 3: Mary Sue]
Jesus Christ is my n*gga…
He’s the son of the original G
And he was sent to Earth to elucidate the way that we should be

What? (Jim)

Like if another MC says
“You’re a freak!
You’re a lame-butt rapper
And your rhymes are weak!”
I don’t get mad and I don’t critique
I forgive him, and turn the other cheek

I don’t blaspheme and I don’t brag
I don’t cuss, and my pants don’t sag
I do exude a little Christian swag
And I’m proud to be an American!

[Hook: Both]
Jesus Christ is our nigga.
Let his light shine through ya!
Let his love pop a cap in your butt and say HALLELUJAH!

Jesus Christ is my n*gga.
He’s a homie MC JC UC?
He’s an honest, caring, peace-loving n*gga
Like me

If you do drugs and think you’re cool
You need to come to Sunday school!
Put those drugs in the garbage can
Stand up tall, you’re a Christian man!

[Jim]
Word up!
I’m freestyling!

[Mary Sue]
Hit me!
